Spinach Almond Rice

Whenever I cook rice I seem to end up with leftovers. This isn’t a bad thing because then I have half another meal already cooked. Sometimes I use the rice to make Chinese fried rice with onion, bacon, diced vegetables and omelette or salmon fried rice with salmon, onion, ginger and soy sauce. Other times I’ll just freeze the leftover rice to use for another day.

This Spinach Almond Rice is a great dish for using up leftover rice and it takes no time at all to cook. You simply cook some garlic and onions, then add the spinach, left over rice and seasoning. Garnished with flaked almonds and served with a lemon wedge that’s dinner done in a flash.

This type of dish is what I crave in this cooler weather – it’s nourishing, warming and filling. You can serve it as is for a simple vegetarian meal for two, or as a side dish to chicken or fish, in which case it will feed three to four people.
